The cover features a dramatic rainstorm setting, with a dark, turbulent sky occupying the top third of the cover. The main focus is a teenager with long, fiery red hair, slightly damp from rain, partially concealed under a deep green hood. Her intense, serious expression reveals a thin scar etched diagonally across her left cheek. She stands in the foreground, sharply defined, while in the background emerges the profile of an ancient, weathered stone castle, drenched in mist and rain. The scene is moody, with muted greens, grays, and flashes of red hair adding a striking contrast to the palette. Drops of rain scatter and blur lightly across the imagery, creating a textured, atmospheric effect.
The title "Ashly" is set in a bold, serif font with subtle distressed edges to give it a weathered, medieval feel. The text is placed prominently in the upper-middle of the cover, in white with a faint golden glow for added contrast. The author’s name, "Lane Peterson," is positioned centrally at the bottom of the cover in a clean, sans-serif font, smaller than the title but equally elegant.
The red-haired protagonist occupies the lower center of the cover, with her body aligned slightly to the right, leaving room for the falling rain and castle to balance the composition. The castle resides slightly off-center in the background, creating depth in the scene. The title is centered near the top, while the author’s name is aligned horizontally at the bottom.
The visual composition mirrors the emotional themes of courage and revenge conveyed through the character’s scarred face, stoic demeanor, and stormy weather. The red hair is an intentional highlight, creating vivid contrast against the muted greens and grays, drawing the viewer's eye to the protagonist instantly. The castle in the backdrop sets the tone for mystery and danger, iconic of young adult fantasy with medieval overtones. Typography choices—bold serif for the title and modern sans-serif for the author’s text—lend an elegant yet contemporary dynamic, appealing to the target audience. Material finishes, such as matte lamination and spot-gloss UV, enhance the tactile and visual experience, making the cover not only dramatic but also immersive.
